The President said,
“All we are doing
is making a log
of your
phone calls.”
And all of us
terrorists
breathed
a sigh
of relief.
We’re glad
our cover
hasn't been blown,
as we
gossip
about some poor soul.
Talk to our mistresses
and tell the beloved
you have to
work late tonight.
Get a hot stock tip
from your brother-in-law
at Goldmans.
Thank God
that
our freedoms
and privacy
are not being harmed.
While the
recording angels
scribble frantically
in the
Book of Life.
